Dash for Detection: Oral Cancer Awareness 5K

The Dash for Detection: Oral Cancer Awareness 5K is a fundraising event scheduled for April 13, 2025, at Denver's City Park. Organized by the Academy of General Dentistry, this 5K run aims to raise awareness about oral cancer, which can be influenced by factors such as tobacco use and HPV infection. Participants will have the opportunity to receive head and neck screenings from licensed professionals.

The first 100 registrants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and goody bag, while all participants will be entered into a raffle for post-race prizes. The event emphasizes the importance of early detection and education regarding oral health. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
